Chapter 598: Central Breakthrough

The fortifications that the Japanese army had worked so hard to build were like paper paste in front of the heavy artillery, and they were instantly blown into waste after one shot. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As for the Japanese troops hiding in the anti-artillery holes, the thick anti-artillery holes blocked most of the shells for them.

However, there were still a small number of shells that hit the holes of the anti-artillery holes very accurately, causing casualties to the Japanese troops.

Or several shells in a row smashed into an anti-artillery hole, and the continuous explosion directly blew up the anti-artillery hole, and directly buried the Japanese troops hiding in the anti-artillery hole.

The heavy artillery fire continued for twenty minutes before stopping, and the Japanese troops who had survived the anti-artillery holes were just about to burrow out of the anti-artillery holes and enter their positions to defend them, when another screech of shells across the sky reached their ears.

The faces of the Japanese soldiers who had just rushed out of the anti-artillery hole changed, and they exclaimed loudly that the Liaodong Army was cunning. Then he raised his leg and ran back, intending to get back into the bomb hole.

But they are fast, and the shells fly faster.

As soon as their front feet moved, the heels of the shells smashed into the position and exploded.

This time the shelling was mortars, and the power of mortar shells was not comparable to that of heavy artillery, but at this moment the Japanese positions had been razed to the ground after being ravaged by heavy artillery regiments.

In the absence of trenches, fragments of mortar shells could reach every corner of the Japanese position. As long as the Japanese were exposed to their positions, they would be killed by mortar shells, unless they regained reins into the defensive holes.

Because this round of shelling came too quickly, and it was a dense rain of shells as soon as it came up.

The four or five hundred Japanese troops who had already rushed out of the anti-artillery hole, except for a few who were lucky enough to escape back to the anti-artillery hole, escaped a catastrophe. The rest of the Japanese troops were all blown up in the ruined positions.

In this way, in the face of mortar shells falling from the sky, the Japanese army once again acted as a turtle with a shrunken head.

When the mortars opened fire and continued to shell the Japanese positions, the 3rd Regiment of the Guards Division was not idle.

A battalion of more than 600 people, armed with rifles and light machine guns, slowly touched the Japanese position.

Because the explosions on the Japanese positions were so dense that there were almost no interruptions. Coupled with the fact that the thick smoke that hung over the Japanese positions was getting thicker and thicker, there was almost no sign of dissipation. The Japanese troops hiding in the anti-artillery hole did not know that the Liaodong Army had touched them.

Soon, the hundreds of Liaodong troops lined up in a skirmish line touched the position less than 40 meters in front of the formation.

This position is already the forward position they can push forward, and although the mortar fire accuracy is very high, there are still errors of more than ten or tens of meters.

As soon as the attacking troops arrived, Yang Xingguo ordered the artillery fire to extend to the rear.

More than 600 Liaodong troops rushed to the Japanese positions as soon as they received the order to attack.

At this time, except for the machine gunner, who was still holding a light machine gun and fired a dense number of bullets at the Japanese position. The other riflemen all held their rifles in one hand, and while rushing up the Japanese position, they ejected grenades, bit off the fuse with their mouths, and then stayed in their hands for two seconds, and then threw them at the Japanese positions with all their might.

After hundreds of white smoke grenades smashed into the Japanese positions one after another, a series of dense explosions sounded again.

Before the dozens or hundreds of Japanese soldiers who had just rushed out of the anti-artillery hole could make any reaction, they were blown to the ground with a face full of terror.

"Baga, why did the Liaodong Army rush so fast, they are about to rush into our position!" Immediately the Japanese soldiers who heard the explosion from a grenade shouted in horror in shock.

Although the explosions outside the anti-artillery shelter became more and more dense at this time, there was no intention of stopping. Now let the troops rush out, and before the Liaodong Army can fight, they will suffer heavy losses.

But in order to hold the position, the Japanese officers hiding in the anti-artillery holes could only order their subordinates to rush out!

In this case, three or four of the ten Japanese soldiers who rushed out were already very lucky.

But that's it, the Liaodong Army didn't give them a chance.

The forty-meter charge distance was fleeting. The Japanese troops, who had broken out of the anti-artillery holes and survived, had just begun to counterattack with the use of shell craters, and hundreds of Liaodong troops had already rushed in front of them.

The Liaodong Army, which was holding the machine gunner, saw where there was a figure on the Japanese position, and it was a shuttle of bullets when they went up.

The riflemen were not idle, and pulled the trigger on the Japanese soldiers who were close at hand. Soon, the Japanese troops who were still alive on the positions were devastated. And hundreds of Liaodong troops also rushed to the Japanese position, and found that they were also helping a large number of Japanese anti-artillery holes.

"Bomb with grenades, block the Japanese troops in the anti-artillery holes, don't let them escape!" The platoon commander of the company, who was scattered among the attacking troops, immediately ordered.

Soon, a very violent explosion sounded at the mouth of the Japanese anti-artillery hole.

Under the key care of the Liaodong Army, the small hole of the anti-artillery hole was directly annihilated in the flames and smoke generated by the grenade explosion.

"Bageya Road, the Liaodong Army has rushed up, blocked at the entrance of the cave, we can't rush out at all!" The Japanese officers guarding the entrance of the cave couldn't help but shout loudly when they saw their subordinates rushing to the entrance of the cave and being blown to the ground one after another.

The Japanese officer, who reacted quickly, saw that grenades with white smoke had already flown in from the entrance of the cave and exploded in the cave, frightening his subordinates one after another, and immediately shouted: "We also use grenades to throw grenades outward and kill the Liaodong troops guarding the entrance of the cave." ”

As more and more grenades flew out of the cave and exploded, several Liaodong troops guarding the cave were caught off guard and were directly blown up.

For a while, the surrounding Liaodong Army had no way to get close to the entrance of the cave, but the Japanese troops hiding in the anti-artillery hole.

At this time, a platoon commander's eyes lit up and suddenly ordered: "Where is the explosives package?" Blow up the hole with an explosive bag and bury the Japanese in the anti-artillery hole! ”

After hearing his subordinates say that there were no explosive packs, the platoon commander followed the order: "If there is no explosive pack, use cluster grenades, bundle five or six grenades together and throw them at the hole, and the hole can still be blown up." ”

Soon, a cluster grenade was built.

A soldier with a strong arm, after pulling out the lead, threw the cluster grenade into the hole with all his might.

As a violent explosion sounded at the entrance of the cave, a thick burst of gunsmoke immediately rose from the small entrance.

The smoke cleared, and the hole that had been exposed in front of everyone just now had disappeared.

While the platoon commander looked happy, he continued to order: "Add another cluster grenade to them, completely seal the hole, and turn the anti-artillery hole into a Japanese grave." ”

After another violent explosion sounded, the anti-artillery hole was completely sealed. And with only a little air in the anti-artillery hole, the remaining Japanese troops in the anti-artillery hole will be suffocated in two minutes at most. In two minutes, no matter how desperately the Japanese troops in the cave tried, it was impossible to dig the hole again.

Of course, it is impossible for the Liaodong Army, which has been guarding the entrance of the cave, to let them dig up.

The Liaodong Army, which was blocking the entrances of other anti-artillery holes, did the same and sealed all the dozens of anti-artillery holes on the Japanese defense line in less than a few minutes.

In this way, more than 1,000 Japanese troops were buried in the anti-artillery hole without even seeing the face of the Liaodong army. (To be continued.) )
